Ananda Shankar - A Life In Music
Ananda Shankar was born in Almora, Uttar Pradesh in 1942. The son of dancers Uday and Amala Shankar and the nephew of Pandit Ravi Shankar, he was raised in an artistically creative atmosphere. He studied sitar with Dr Lalmani Mishra in Banaras at the Hindu University. In the late sixties he travelled to the West Coast of America when the flower power generation was in full swing. The pop world was fascinated by all things sitar. Informal jam sessions with Jimi Hendrix in 1969 soon resulted in attention from producers at Warners Reprise. The ensuing LP Ananda Shankar saw the young musician flexing his skills as composer and arranger. It featured amazing cover versions of the Rolling Stones' "Jumping Jack Flash" and The Doors "Light My Fire", ensuring the record's cult success then, and to this day.

Didier Malherbe - Zeff
This is some serious new age jazz flute juice. Breathy tube scapes from outer and inner space to rythyms and shapes new yet ancient. A very experimental work from Mr. Malherbe that will blow your mind!

Perez Prado - The Voodoo Suite
At the height of his popularity in the late 1950s, Perez Prado turned away from his ever-popular mambos, teaming up with Shorty Rogers to create two of the most interesting exotica records of all time. VOODOO SUITE / EXOTIC SUITE combines these two great albums.

John McFarland - Provocatif (1959)
Incredible exotica album. Nine tracks of mystical strangeness with elements of eastern, african and latin rhytms. An unusual combination of instruments vibes, xylophone, piano, percussion, bird calls, jungle noises and snake rattlers. Wild style exotica not seen the light of day since the early sixties. Insane!!

Ted Auletta - Exotica (1962)
Ted Auletta earned his place in Space Age Pop history with a single album, an excellent example of jungle exotica titled, aptly, Exotica.
